It requires the existence of a treatment technique to reduce pain. Nurses using their knowledge can deal with pain problems both independently and collaboratively using two approaches, namely the pharmacological approach and the non-pharmacological approach. One of the non-pharmacological approaches is by doing positive self-talk techniques. The purpose of this study was to carry out nursing care by using positive self-talk techniques with VR (virtual reality) media to reduce the pain intensity of postoperative patients. Assessment of the pain scale using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) pain intensity measurement scale. The location of the practice is in the inpatient room of the University of North Sumatra hospital.
